Whaaaaaaaaat!! So many!

I knew the Eurasian one because it gets mentioned on the lists of largest owls in the world. I thought it was the one and only.

I honestly forgot the Verreaux was also an Eagle Owl. Just remembered Verreaux, which is such a wizard name haha.

I just looked up the Pharaoh, and I would never in my life have guessed a difference between that owl and the GHO. (Except, obviously, the desert pictures lol). Even it's face markings are so similar to GHO!

Which makes me wonder why the GHO didn't get named as an Eagle Owl of some sort? Quirk of history, I suppose.

Excellent point. I'll be interested to see epidemiological studies confirming how much of that increase in young people is diet and the increase in obesity vs. environmental.

Life gives us a little cancer. One major "cause" of modern increases in cancer is the fact that we've become so good at preventing death from other things. Childhood vaccination, antibiotics, better hypertension screening and early intervention, all of these things that prevent death make it much more likely that you'll simply live long enough to get some kind of cancer.

Agreed, in my experience Tubi and Pluto both have very reasonable length, good quality ads. I declined to re-up on YouTube TV for NCAA football season this year specifically because I can stand their ads. At that price tier, they honestly expect me to sit through My Pillow ads??

Flam-my! 👏 Flam-my! 👏 Flam-my! 👏

We the fans of the Flammulated Owl are a devoted bunch and we will get this little guy to victory

Tengmalm's Owl

I saw him in your post earlier and I definitely need more of this big-headed weirdo in my life

Maybe we could throw Burrowing Owls in the mix and do BFOs vs. the little guys

I'm indifferent to teams. I follow NCAA not NFL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
